Brick Lane Street Art #1

Brick Lane is the perfect place to spend a day wandering and taking in the sights. Full of vintage shops, small boutiques, cafés, street food markets, and countless curry houses to name just a few of the things to draw you in. Brick Lane is also very well-known for its street art that can’t fail to catch your eye. Here’s a view of some of the small bits and pieces I spotted, with a view of the bigger murals around to follow tomorrow:    London Street Art 1Brick Lane Street Art | The Tofu DiariesBrick Lane Street ArtBrick Lane Street ArtStreet Art Collage 4Brick Lane Street ArtBrick Lane Street ArtLondon Street Art 8London Street Art 26 London Street Art 3 London Street Art 13 London Street Art 32London Street Art 24London Street Art 20 London Street Art 19What catches your eye when you’re in a city?

Street art says a lot about a place; It gives you an opening into the soul of a city. In my opinion there is a huge gulf between street art and “graffiti” but you rarely get street art without a prevalence of graffiti. Maybe precisely the openness needed for one breeds the other.

Either way, the buildings of Reykjavik are privy to a huge amount of it. These were some of my highlights: (warning: very photo heavy!)
